Chapter 278 The Truth of Cronus (2)
It was a disconcerting sight.
The pure white existence that suddenly appeared and the holy power she exerted.
While people were staring at it in awe, a group of troops appeared and swept the battlefield, led by a pure white knight.
“Destroy the group of evil!”
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hundreds of inspectors.
They all developed an aura.
At first, the people who could not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy understood the situation as they slaughtered the imperial army.
It was unknown where it appeared.
What is certain is that they defined the Kronos Empire as a group of evil and showed a ruthless appearance against hundreds of thousands of enemies.
“Kuuk!”
“evil!”
Screams were heard from all sides.
The white aura cut down the soldiers of the Cronus Empire at once, and the belated resistance of the enemies was meaningless.
The charter turned at once. Mysterious beings overwhelmed hundreds of thousands of troops.
behind them.
A snow-white knight walked along and shouted.
“You arrogant and greedy ones! I clearly warned you. If you try to dye the continent into darkness beyond the authority permitted to humans, we can no longer watch it. However, in the end, you accepted a power that should not be touched in order to realize your ambition of conquering the continent.”
Roaring.
The aura flared up.
The pure white aura colored her presence.
“I will punish the group of evil in the name of God. Bless.”
Pat-
qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The energy of light spread in all directions.
it was a blessing
Not only the swordsmen following her, but also Dmitry and the soldiers of the Cairo Union opened their eyes to the mysterious power of restoring their bodies.
It was an incomprehensible situation from start to finish.
However, now that she has directly mentioned that she is an enemy of the Kronos Empire, Chris did not miss the golden opportunity.
“Soldiers! Follow me!”
ran forward He defined the beings who manifest holy power as allies and helped them attack the Cronus Empire.
from then.
A one-sided massacre ensued.
In the first place, the Kronos Empire, which had struggled against the force of one hundred and one hundred, had no way to block the attack of Dmitri’s soldiers who had recovered their physical strength at once.
Above all, the power of the swordsmen following the pure white knight was overwhelming.
Duke Bamford reacted with bewilderment to a series of situations that were sucked into his eyes.
‘… What the hell is this?’
this war.
It was an unexpected development.
I knew about the pure white knight, but ‘Sefir’, who was mobilized to deal with her, disappeared because of Roman Dmitri.
Still, the Kronos Empire was equipped with an overwhelming force. Although they had a clear advantage in numbers, they had no choice but to make a decision in the circumstances.
‘At this rate, annihilation cannot be avoided.’
gritted it
He was boiling on the inside, but he wasn’t a stupid commander who would drive soldiers to death for pride.
“All troops retreat! I will retreat to Goseong and plan the future.”
retreat.
It was an unusual order.
The Cronus Empire, which did not know how to retreat, chose to flee in an unfavorable battle situation.
The troops quickly withdrew.
Goseong.
It’s small, but it’s also a castle.
He decided that if he chose Mercury in Goseong, he could buy enough time for the follow-up troops of the Cronus Empire to arrive.
It was the best judgment for the Duke of Bamford.
Even if they were reprimanded for their defeat, it was necessary to make a decision to plan the future rather than a disastrous defeat in which hundreds of thousands of troops were lost.
however.
Upon reaching his destination, Duke Bamford’s complexion turned pale.
above the castle wall.
Under Dmitri’s fluttering flag, a being was seen igniting flames.
The moment you realize that it is Felix.
“… damn it.”
The Duke of Bamford knew he had fallen into a trap.
* * *
It was the details that perfected the strategy.
When Roman Dmitri said that he would defeat the Kronos Empire in a head-to-head battle, Flora Lawrence added one thing.
“Whether you win or lose in a head-to-head confrontation. The presence of Goseong is very important. If victorious, the Chronos Empire is likely to choose the castle as its last bastion, and if defeated, it can target the enemy’s rear through the castle. That’s why from now on, instead of giving away the food of Goseong, we have to hide in Goseong’s tunnels that the enemy can never find. and when the time comes After securing the fortress, you can choose whether to open the gate and attack the enemies or block the retreat of enemies fleeing to the fortress.”
I believed Roman Dmitry.
However, pursuing perfection was the role of the staff, and Flora Lawrence’s strategy was adopted with everyone’s support.
sacred being.
It was an unexpected variable.
However, now that the Kronos Empire was retreating to Goseong, the troops of Goseong were faithful to their roles.
“Fire Rain.”
Hwareuk.
Roaring.
Felix summoned mana of flame.
His magic, which exerts an absolute presence on Mercury, caused flames falling from the sky to turn the ground into a sea of fire.
Quaang!
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”
The soldiers of the Cronus Empire on their way to the castle screamed in burning pain, and the soldiers following them reacted with embarrassment.
In front, the Phoenix wizards who occupied the castle were attacked by the soldiers of the Dimitri Cairo Union, led by the holy knights, in the back.
I was completely cornered.
If they had known that the fortress would fall, they would have prepared in advance, but as they did not have any materials necessary for siege, they were helpless against the magic falling from the top of the castle wall.
It was a four-sided song.
While panicking, not knowing what to do, the soldiers were slaughtered one-sidedly.
“The enemies are cornered!”
“Kill them all!”
driven to the edge of a precipice
The soldiers of the Cronus Empire fought back as if fighting with faces that had lost their will to fight.
hundreds of thousands.
Numbers were meaningless.
The moment he lost his will to fight, defeat became a reality.
“Don’t back down! We are Kronos! Kronos never loses!”
Duke of Bamford.
he was upset
His face was stained with despair, unlike the blood in his neck as he shouted.
I couldn’t believe it.
Because defeat of the Kronos Empire is impossible.
Duke Bamford opened his eyes to a blind arrow while dealing with his enemies with his sword.
puck!
“Keugh.”
An arrow pierced the heart.
Blood spilled.
It was only then that he accepted reality with his blurred vision.
this war.
The war against Dmitri, which everyone was sure of winning, was a complete defeat for the Kronos Empire.
* * *
The outcome of the war was decided in an instant.
As defeat deepened and the commander screamed and collapsed, the soldiers of the Kronos Empire gave up hope for victory even though they were equipped with an overwhelming force.
From then on, it was in chaos.
Some fled in all directions to survive, some threw down their weapons and surrendered, and some fought to the end to protect the pride of the Cronus Empire, and met a death that prompted the first two types of decisions.
finished.
fierce war.
The fact that the end was victory, Cairo and Dmitri’s soldiers exclaimed the joy of victory.
“We won!”
“Long live Dmitry!”
“Roman! Roman!”
“Roman! Roman!”
the name they chant.
Roman Dmitry.
Victory came from it.
If he hadn’t dealt with Hannibal, the knights of Kronos, and the 8th Circle mage, Sefir, even if a holy being appeared, victory would not have been assured.
It didn’t matter that Roman Dmitri wasn’t there.
They believed that the being they trusted would definitely come back.
A seat filled with enthusiastic cheers.
Chris approached a figure with a bloodstained face.
It was a foreign existence.
On the battlefield where corpses piled up like mountains and rivers of blood flowed, the snow-white knight did not look like a normal human.
Chris asked.
“Thank you for helping us. But where are you from?”
white knight.
It was a questionable existence.
I had never heard of a rumor that there was a person like her in the Salamander Continent, but her remarks seemed to be familiar with the Kronos Empire from the beginning.
I couldn’t understand it from start to finish.
The power she manifests and the swordsmen who follow her. It was an existence that could not be hidden even if it was hidden.
The snow-white knight looked at Chris.
It was beautiful.
With her white skin and her blonde hair blowing in the wind, her appearance alone made her doubt that she was human.
She said.
“I am the only human country that exists in Arcadia beyond the endless mountains. This is Isabel, Queen of Luna.”
Arcadia.
Luna.
Isabelle.
Chris reacted in amazement at the unexpected series of words.
* * *
Shefir dies.
A passage opened.
When Roman Dmitri entered the passage, he was not in the middle of a battlefield, but at the beginning of an endless mountain range.
Once back to Dmitry.
Roman Dmitri, who confirmed Isabel’s existence and victory in the war through magic communication, made an appointment in Kairos when Isabel said she wanted to meet him.
And the first place they headed to wasn’t Adelian’s warp gate.
There was something I had to check first before leaving Dmitri.
Dmitry’s library.
I found an old book there.
It was a record of the acts of historically known figures, and after checking several old books, I found familiar names.
[Maximilian]
– A wandering swordsman who made the Salamander Continent lively. As a five-star aura swordsman, he moved from continent to continent, dealing with those who were called strong, and was on the way to success after falling into the eyes of Emperor Cronus. At that time, he obtained the surname of Maximilian and contributed to the Kronos Empire under the name of Count Maximilian. and… He, who once ranked No. 1 in the Kronos ranking, died peacefully in the dark side of history.
It was the action of one person.
How a person who left a big mark on history lived was recorded in detail in the old books.
however.
There was another part that Roman Dmitri paid attention to.
Count Maximilian.
Before the name people remembered was born, a part of the old book said his real name.
– Count Maximilian. His real name is Sven.
Sven.
The shadow that attacked Dmitri.
That was his name.
If only Sven had been mentioned, Roman Dmitri would not have recalled the connection between the shadows.
[Mystic]
-He is a mysterious being. He developed magic to deal with space and caused a stir on the continent, but he disappeared at some point contrary to people’s interest. A wizard who once studied with him said that his name was ‘Mystique’.
[Ellington]
-A long time ago. Born as the eldest son of the Ellington family in the Cronus Empire, he was a magical genius recognized by wizards on the continent. He realized the truth of magic at a young age and played a big role in the magical development of the Cronus Empire, but like Mystique, he disappeared at some point. As a result, there was a lot of talk in the Kronos Empire. The ‘disappearance of wizards’ has always been historically repeated, and until now, there is no clear evidence left, so questions have been raised about Ellington’s existence itself. The Ellington family also disappeared into history after the disappearance of their eldest son. There has been much speculation about his real name, and several names have been suggested as his real name, including Sheroni Sherpe Shefir.
Mystique and Sefir.
They were also in the old books.
Then the existence of the shadows did not fall from the sky.
It was clear that those who made historical progress enough to be recorded in old books still exist as ‘shadows’ for some reason.
The problem was not only this.
Roman Dmitri read Shefir’s memories and found out the names of four people, but the last one shocked Roman Dmitri.
how.
What does that name mean?
The last name was not an old book, but proudly revealed its identity from the first page in the most splendid book.
[Emperor Alexander]
The creator of Aura.
He was the last name Roman Dmitri was looking for.
* * *
That time.
Flash.
Emperor Kronos opened his eyes.
Waking up from his sleep, he frowned at the rising pain.
“… Is there anyone there? I asked if there was anyone!”
A dry, cracked voice.
His face was powerless, but his eyes showed an intelligence that had never been seen before.
